Contact Emma Thurgood

Hey there, I'm Emma! I'm a New England wedding photographer who focuses on intimate weddings and elopements. I take my job as your photographer pretty seriously, and I want to represent you, your love, and your wedding day as authentically as possible. If you're going to ask me to photograph one of the most significant moments of your life, it's important that you know you've entrusted that task to the right person who appreciates the sanctity of your day and with whom you vibe well!

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

Currently my home base is in Connecticut, but I serve all of New England with no additional travel fees.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I have been in business for 5+ years and I've photographed over 100 weddings as a lead/solo photographer.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

I like to consider myself a documentary and story-telling photographer. I will provide posing guidance, but I do so in a way that allows couples to feel genuine emotions and create candid-esque imagery.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

My wedding packages cover a variety of wedding needs, from basic ceremony and portraits to full day or weekend coverage. My price range is $3000 - $9000 with the average client investment being $7000.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

I love a good zoom call. ;)

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I have a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Painting and a Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art. I am a certified Leave No Trace Aware Photographer and have completed many hours of professional photography training both in graduate school and beyond.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

I'm the perfect photographer for you if you love to be outside in nature, exploring new places and just having a relaxed wedding day, be it in your backyard, an intimate venue, or the top of a mountain.
